There are a lot of apps that claim to help visualise your fitness data, but few like Gentler. Instead of pushing you to ever greater feats of fitness and endurance, this app helps you find a balance between overwork and inactivity.
One of the ways it does this is with its Activity Cloud, a green bar that serves as a ‘compass’ for your condition. If your activity level goes above the Activity Cloud, you should rest more. If it’s below, try to be more active. The app determines your position in the cloud based on your age, gender, resting heart rate, training history, and VO2 maximum, so it’s tailored to your condition.
